Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Financial Report for 
Tribes (ACF-696T).
    OMB No.: 0970-0195.
    Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) annual 
financial reporting form (ACF-696T) provides a mechanism for Indian 
tribes to report expenditures under the CCDF program. The CCDF program 
provides funds to tribes, as well as States and Territories, to assist 
low-income families in obtaining child care so that they can work or 
attend training/education, and to improve the quality of care. 
Information collected via the ACF-696T allows the Administration for 
Children and Families (ACF) to monitor expenditures and to estimate 
outlays, and may be used to prepare ACF budget submissions to Congress. 
The proposed information collection is identical to the currently used 
ACF-696T form for which the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approval expires on March 31, 2005.
    Respondents: Indian tribes and tribal organizations that are CCDF 
grantees.
